Aging gracefully and smart

Are you a super ager?

Researchers studied a group of people in their 80’s who scored well on tests of cognitive function and brain tissue.

Compared to other people their age, these super-agers appear to have a thicker cortex, and their brains seem to be just as sharp as people 20 or 30 years younger.

This group of people will be taking part in more research, and have agreed to donate their brains when they die.
